Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders
united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high
ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and
peace in the world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately
1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs.
The Living Bank is the oldest and largest donor education organization
in the country, and the only national one that keeps computerized
records of donor data for future retrieval in an emergency. But
there are other groups and organizations that encourage organ and
tissue donation. The Living Bank cooperates at every opportunity
with them, eagerly supporting any group or organization whose activities
generate more committed donors or facilitate actual donation.
